Great book

This is a great historical book even if you aren't already a fan of Maud Hart Lovelace. She has a wonderful way of mixing fact with a fictional story. I love her work.
Wonderful Historical Novel
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 21 years ago
Early Candlelight was written over a hundred years ago and is a wonderful story about Fort Snelling in St Paul Minnesota, around the time when people were still settling there. It is about a girl whose family lives outside the fort. It tells about numerous happenings, with the soldiers and their wives, the indians, and even the traders in the area. Eventually leading to a romance at the end. I enjoyed it thoroughly.
